That was in the High Test Peroxide (HTP) form which is an 85-96%
concentration compared with about 5% in hairdressing bleach or 2-3%
concentration in the form usually sold in Chemists.
HTP in torpedoes caused the loss of HMS Sidon in 1956 as well as
(probably) the Kursk. Handling HTP requires considerable care and
special equipment.
